Hakone Customized Private Tour in 1 Day — Guide Hiro

Title: What Is a Private Hakone Day Tour Like for Repeat Visitors to Japan? A Licensed Guide's Report

The guests were visiting Japan for the second time, having first toured the country about ten years ago, and this time they wanted to explore places different from before. On this trip they also planned to visit Izukogen. Since they live in a highland area in North America, they said they felt relieved and comfortable to be free from Tokyo's high humidity today. Some of the guests enjoy photography and turn the photos into jigsaw puzzles. The guests are fond of Japan, and mentioned that a recently awarded film set in Japan's samurai era left a strong impression on them. As a result, they were interested in the relationship between the Emperor and the Shogun, which became a topic of conversation. They were also interested in the culture of that period, so Hakone's marquetry woodwork (yosegi-zaiku), the Hakone Checkpoint (Sekisho) ruins and the surrounding townscape, and Hakone Shrine all made for ideal sightseeing subjects.

This private tour was arranged through [Japan Guide Agency (JGA Inc.)](https://www.j-g-a.org/), one of Japan's largest networks of government-licensed, English-speaking private tour guides, serving all 47 prefectures.
